Beed, April 11 A woman has been arrested in the Beed district for allegedly blackmailing and threatening a doctor, who subsequently committed suicide, a police official said on Saturday.
Dr. Mandar Dabhade, a resident doctor at Swami Ramanand Teerth Rural Government Medical College and Hospital in Ambajogai, hanged himself in his rented room in the Rohidasnagar area on April 6, the official said.
"Dabhade had sent his mobile phone password to his brother before taking his life. Upon accessing the device, explicit chats and videos sent by the accused to the doctor were found.
